In a Compton scattering experiment, a photon is scattered through an angle of 90.0° and the electron is set into motion in a direction at an angle of 20.0° to the original direction of the photon. (a) Explain how this information is sufficient to determine uniquely the wavelength of the scattered photonand (b) find this wavelength.
